UsernameKeeToSobrietyDate Joined02 / 06 / 15Last Active09 / 01 / 17RoleExpert ContributorI have been an advocate for addicts and addiction recovery for nearly ten years. As president of the Youth Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Project, I worked to council teenagers through temptation, addiction, and recovery. I believe positive reinforcement, confidence in every person, and finding what motivates each individual is what people need to conquer struggles like addiction. Since my time at PCAV, I have worked to use my writing, theatre, and art to motivate people from five years old on up to remain drug-free. I even created a successful ad campaign called "web of drugs" that was specifically geared toward elementary school age children participating in the DARE program. I now work with recovering adult addicts on their journey through sobriety through the comfort of literature and art.Discussions

How Our Helpline Works
For those seeking addiction treatment for themselves or a loved one, the Recovery.org helpline is a private and convenient solution.
Calls to any general helpline (non-facility specific 1-8XX numbers) for your visit will be answered by American Addiction Centers (AAC).
We are standing by 24/7 to discuss your treatment options. Our representatives work solely for AAC and will discuss whether an AAC facility may be an option for you.
Our helpline is offered at no cost to you and with no obligation to enter into treatment. Neither Recovery.org nor AAC receives any commission or other fee that is dependent upon which treatment provider a visitor may ultimately choose.
For more information on AAC’s commitment to ethical marketing and treatment practices, or to learn more about how to select a treatment provider, visit our About AAC page.
If you wish to explore additional treatment options or connect with a specific rehab center, visit our homepage to browse our directory listings, or SAMHSA’s treatment services locator.
